HRC Turns the Internet Red for Marriage Equality

Social media was awash in a sea of red today as a red version of the iconic Human Rights Campaign logo went viral. Facebook users shared the red logo more than 100,000 times as of 4 pm on Tuesday, the first day of oral arguments in marriage equality cases before the Supreme Court.

“Red is a symbol for love, and that’s what marriage is all about,” Human
Rights Campaign spokesperson Charlie Joughin told MSNBC.com on Tuesday.
“We wanted to give people an opportunity to show their support for
marriage equality in a public and visible way.”

“By harnessing the passion that equality supporters feel for the freedom
of loving and committed couples to marry, the internet is awash in a
sea of red—the color of love," said HRC Marketing Director Anastasia Khoo in an article that appeared in Yahoo! News.
